It's both pleasing and a little disappointing to see this being "marketed" under the name "web0" --- especially on a "nonstandard" TLD. All websites used to be simple handwritten hyperlinked pages. I guess what's old is new again?

Of course, Big Tech would want you to use its browser (not browser_s_) and indulge in the insane complexity of "the web stack" which guarantees its monopoly, but it doesn't have to be that way for everyone. Maybe once more people realise the latter, the web can become mostly-browser-neutral again.

I guess that's a dig but I'm not sure why. It's resolvable via the ICANN root and is no more "nonstandard" than any of its siblings.

I've found that I tend to ignore any sites which aren't the traditional net/com/org or the well-known ccTLDs when they show up in search results. Perhaps because the majority of them seem to be used for hosting vapid SEO spam. It's an almost subconscious aversion trained by years of browsing experience, when assessing the trustfulness of a site, that "weird TLD" will be a negative weight.

I can understand how you might arrive at such an intuition but I'm not sure how well it serves you, particularly when you apply it outside of the search results that have formed it. There's over 150 million names under .com, people are going to go elsewhere.

CanIuse should have a page that lists all of the browser features that are supported by all browsers and in the same way. Of course it's not as simple as that, but in short, what has a green square across the current versions of all browsers? Green-green, not half-stepping green.

What would that presentation be useful for? They certainly have the data, but I have trouble thinking of a situation where I would want that kind of list.

Then it wouldn't be for you. For me, it could indicate the amount of web page knowledge necessary to minimize maintenance overhead.

I feel like just a basic stylesheet improves things quite a lot (this isn't using CSS at all). But otherwise I agree that a lot more website should be like this.

The site uses an inline CSS statement to set the font size.

I like the attempt, though. I could go off on an old-man tangent about "kids these days don't even know what a fieldset is!" or whatever, but I very much appreciate the call to do things more simply.

an aside, but .computer has been a valid top-level domain since 2013-2014:

https://icannwiki.org/.computer

these are fully standard.
